This now depends on libavcodec.so so when it needs to be rebuilded against new ffmpeg version you are forced to uninstall first otherwise the update will be blocked

I can confirm that a manual sudo modprobe sg was necessary to get makepkg to detect my DVD drive.

@Kage-Yami: I had issues at well, but they seem to be download related. For me the makemkv-bin-1.18.3.tar.gz file passed the check, but the makemkv-oss-1.18.3.tar.gz one didn't.

I checked the downloaded files, and for me the makemkv-oss-1.18.3.tar.gz was corrupted, I could not check it with tar:

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I cleared the files (in my case from ~/.cache/paru/clone/makemkv) and tried again a couple of hours later. This time, the install worked without issues, and with the original checksums.

I'm getting a different SHA-256 for the bin archive downloaded than what's in the PKGBUILD... wonder if upstream did a silent update?

Re. Mirto52's comment - looks like upstream is now moving old versions to a subpath when releasing newer versions. Not great, they should be staying in the same place, but that's something that would need to be raised with upstream (likely on their forums).

Trying to install MakeMKV I receive a package not found error.

I discovered that the package was moved do the /old directory

So, in the construction file, I needed to change these lines from

source=(${url}/download/${pkgname}-bin-${pkgver}.tar.gz
        ${url}/download/${pkgname}-oss-${pkgver}.tar.gz

to

source=(${url}/download/old/${pkgname}-bin-${pkgver}.tar.gz
        ${url}/download/old/${pkgname}-oss-${pkgver}.tar.gz

Hey, would you mind making me a co-maintainer so I can automate the updates for this package?

sudo sh -c 'echo "sg" > /etc/modules-load.d/sg.conf' sudo modprobe sg yay --rebuild makemkv

The command for yay is yay --rebuild makemkv

Any word on when this package will get the update to version 1.18.2?

@Kanogul reminder that updating pkgbuilds isn't my paid job; if you can't wait grab the pkgbuild, edit pkgver= to the last version, update hash with updpkgsums and build then build with makepkg or devtools

@FabioLoix How would one rebuild the package? I have tried reinstalling

in this case reinstalling solves nothing because the package is still linked to the old version, makepkg -sf force rebuild

"/usr/bin/makemkvcon: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.61: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

@jaja27 what pkgbuild are you using? This one on the AUR have a depends on libavcodec.so since 15 months; you should be forced to remove the old package otherwise it will block the system update with an error like:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing ffmpeg ($VERSION) breaks dependency 'libavcodec.so=$VERSION' required by makemkv

Thank you both, @holunder and @dontbemeantome, I just discovered the --rebuild flag thanks to you :)
